Queensland, Australia (Storyful News) -

Staffy pup Arlo is taking her first assisted steps after grueling operations and a little TLC from a physiotherapist. Arlo was brought into the care of Animal Welfare League Queensland in a laundry basket, unable to walk.

Vets were unable to determine the cause of Arlo’s paralysis, but the tiny pup was subject to a grueling spinal tap, which cost the volunteer organisation thousands of dollars.

“Her ambition is to be like the big dogs she is fostered with. This combined with hydrotherapy, massage, manipulation, a daily exercise regime and a potentially lifesaving course of antibiotics, have all made an incredible difference,” AWLQLD said in a statement.
